| Matisyahu – Close My Eyes Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| the guitar at the beginning of this song kind of reminds me of mutemath a little bit. every one of his songs are undeniably religious, and so i get sort of a religious experience with each song. i mean how deep can you get into a song's meaning when it's bare bones are as deep as it can get? | |
| Matisyahu – King Without A Crown Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
im in love with matisyahu. seriously, being agnostic, this guy could totally make me convert to judaism. his music is beautiful, his lyrics are beautiful, his religious enthusium is beautiful, HE is beautiful. i havent been this excited about an artist since carina round. mrfroteo- im seeing him march 15 too! i cant hardly contain my excitement. though no one at school is jealous of me. they all think im weird for listening to "that reggae jew" grrrrr. |

| Starflyer 59 – Goodbyes Are Sad Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
it just slows my whole body down. the lyrics really can't speak enough for the song. hearing it is what makes you feel. "feeling like i do" |
|
| Starflyer 59 – Goodbyes Are Sad Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
this song makes me feel two things at once: stoned, and sad |

| Flyleaf – Breathe Today Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| maybe it's cuz theyre from the area? | |
| Flyleaf – Breathe Today Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| im suprised there isnt a lot of songs here. this band is huge here in dallas. | |
| Copeland – Choose the One Who Loves You More Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| yeah that crazy amazing ending just blows my mind. it's so fuckin good! however, it kind of feels like it doesnt mesh well with the beginning of the song. i think they begin weak. but they sure as hell end strong. | |
| Copeland – Sleep Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| i like how copeland kind of mellowed out the beginning of the record with this song. the opening "No one really wins" totally gets me tapping on the dashboard. then "sleep" comes on and i can breathe (and stop mowing over old ladies). the raw sound of the vocals reminds me a lot of ben folds, as does the piano. however, lyrically copeland is so much more poetic. the cellphone line annoys me though. the whole song sounds lovely and mature, and then i hear cellphone and feel like a loser teenager listening to badly written emo. but they redeem themselves with the awesomeness of the rest of the song, so i still think its one of the best on the album. | |

| Copeland – Kite Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| ouch, melon. the part about ripping ur eardrums out gave me mental pictures of blood spurting from my ears and now they hurt. graphic | |
| Carina Round – Into My Blood Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| oh god! finally! someone has added this amazing woman to the roster! ive been waiting so long! (would have done it myself, but there are maybe 3 sites devoted to her lyrics, and most of it is prolly wrong, plus, i cant figure out what the hell shes saying myself) wish she would do more touring in the states. 2004, the closest she came to dallas was chicago. damn. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – Once Upon Your Dead Body Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
man, it's so ironic how the music is so poppy and claudio's voice is all falsetto-y and theyre talking about something so dark. fantastic lyrics, man. totally makes me laugh hysterically. i really can't devise what this song is about. it would be a lot easier if so many people didn't die/want to die/want someone else to die in this epic. im getting my corpses mixed up already. |
|
| Eisley – Marvelous Things Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Like pantsuit, when I first heard this song I thought of Alice in Wonderland at that particular line. It seems that they are highly influenced by childhood fairytales. In Brightly Wound the say "I shall never grow up, make-believe is much to fun" or something and it makes me think of peter pan. all there songs seem to be about innocence or child-like things. and how adults lose their sight on believing in things and loving things and seeing things for their beauty, and are instead obsessed with material things. yeah. | |
| Eisley – Brightly Wound Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| during the second verse, the words weave together and I find my mouth open in awe, everytime. | |
| Action Action – Let's never go to sleep Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i love the end of this song when it sounds like one of those kiddie electric pianos. so shitty sounding... yet so cool.... and it makes me dance like a oompa loompa... | |
| Action Action – Drug-Like Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"i hate myself, and i want you to die" - thats great!! haha! great song. okay... not to be shallow, but the members of this band are hot. |

| talks so fast... | |
| The Mars Volta – Televators Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| can someone please explain to me why artists always put the best songs at the end of the cd? because a cd is read from the center - out, the songs around the outer edge are more likely to get scratched up the worst. This makes me sad because i would listen to this song all the time, and now it just skips. and all the other songs work. and this is the same with almost every one of my cds. WHY???!!!!! | |

not that it has anything to do with the song's meaning... http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/comforteagle.php |

| Ben Folds Five – Evaporated Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i first heard this song in 8th grade (what is up with this song and the 8th grade?) and it scared me because it was like all the emotions that i were feeling, and were afraid of and confused by, were being felt by someone else, and the music was as meloncholy as a felt. it just made me cry. it was as if it was made for me, because it just fit so perfectly. "don't you know I'm numb, man, no, I can't feel a thing at all, 'cause it's all smiles and business these days and I'm indifferent to the loss" i remember walking around all day and talking to people and putting on a smile and everyone thinking everything was just so fuckin fine. i hated being fake. and so i just threw away all the stupid facades and when everyone saw how sad i was, they started to ignore me. a sad person is no fun i guess. "oh god what have i done?" i regretted ever letting anyone know what was really going on inside. i regretted "pouring my heart out". so i just bottle it up inside (and it pisses everyone off) and i just avoid people all together. i can still relate to this song. i guess you just feel numb at different points in your life. this song just means so much to me. |

| Wilco – Hummingbird Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i see it like this: at particular moments people are a part of your life, and in the present, and the future, the past exists. it's a perpetual movement. so, the past actually lasts forever, and the people that are present in those certain moments in your life hover there, even after we die, floating like a hummingbird, forever. our life is like a string of pearls. each pearl represents a certain moment in, a small part of, your life, but the string is life, earth, the stars and mountains, and we see it as lasting forever and always present. this makes me think: do the stars see each of our lives, our existences, as just one small moment? just one pearl? and if so, what do they see as the string? what is always there for them? what is their stability? is it empty darkness of the universe? it must be so beautiful to be a star. fork... im so trippin. |

| Belle & Sebastian – Step Into My Office, Baby Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| this song is what introduced me to belle and sebastian. i heard it on the radio real late at night when they play a lot of weird techno with a sparatic mix of british yumminess. i laughed at the words. this song is so witty and clever. i dont know if this is written on true events, but it's meaning is obvious. an affair with your boss. funny. teehee. but great music. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – Delirium Trigger Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i like heart a blaze's theory. yar. not that the other theories are wrong, but that one was the most complete, and it was stated nicely, not with the alpha-male "actually if you knew ANYTHING" crap that came with brodster's explanation. brodser, must you make us all feel inferior to your infinate wisdom??? (sarcasm oozing out) (and frothy) (like i have rabies or something) (yum. rabies...) | |
| Belle & Sebastian – Piazza, New York Catcher Lyrics | 21 years ago |

wow... five to one, did you do research on baseball for this song, or are you just a really enthusiastic ball fan who happens to like belle and sebastian |
|
| Big Country – In A Big Country Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| to me, this song is about having a friend who is going through some form of depression, but when they are with you, you can make that go away and give them all that they deserve and dream. "stay alive". you have something to live for, and that's me. ill take care of you. | |
| Big Country – In A Big Country Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
yeah, why are there only two songs you can comment on? why has no one (besides high fidelity) commented on them? has no one heard of big country? this song is amazing. the guitar work is just beautiful. this band did things unlike anyone at their time, and for that, i salute them. |
|
| Wilco – Muzzle Of Bees Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| id heard wilco in like the nineties, and they were so different from what they are now. so, imagine my suprised when i heard some songs from a ghost is born on some late night show, and discovered how incredibly mature and utterly... amazing they have become. i was enthralled. i bought the cd and upon reading the lyrics to this song, i actually cried. it is quite possibly the sweetest song that anyone has ever written, and the music compliments it nicely. it is truly a beautiful song, and, like nimbus said, blows you away. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – A Favor House Atlantic Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
though this song is not my favorite on the cd, when i heard it on the radio, i was immediately addicted to it. claudio's voice is so different and amazing. for some reason i feel that if anyone else sang this song, it would not have the same meaning or would be as intriguing. the fact that this band's cd's tell this huge elaborate and fantastic story, adds to the intrigue already present because of claudio's eccentric falsetto (and that is what it is. he is not trying to sound like a girl). he is what makes this song what it is. though this song is part of a story, and it has an exact meaning, i still think that it is open to interpretation. after all, when we read a book, we recall how it relates to our lives, and i, too, do this with music. before i knew of the story behind (or within) the music, this song greatly impacted a situation in a friendship i was having in which i felt like i had been shot in the back. the "sniper" with his "good eye" had known where to hit me, where it would hurt the most, and i felt like i needed to get him back "ill shoot, you run". this song actually changed my opinion because at the end "bye, bye beautiful" makes me think that the character (claudio, right?) is saying that the person that hurt him is not worth it, so good bye, so long, have a nice life. at least that's how i interpreted it at the time. so i just let the relationship go, and i think it actually saved me a lot of excess pain, in the end. in relation to the people who are stating that they are unsure whether the recent "success" of co&ca with radio play and, apparantly, empty-v play, is good or bad, i would have to say that i understand. though i am one to say that it bothers me that there are many stuck up so-called "fans" of musicians and bands that will drop them as soon as they develop a following and are able to actually FEED themselves, id have to say that i too feel kind of disheartened that with co&ca's success there will come some fans that (as sara said) are following empty-v and want to be a part of what's "popular" with their fishnet tights, shining chucks, and avril/story of the year tshirts. i think that my selfishness (and perhaps other's) is because this music is so different, so special, that you want to keep it to yourself, and cherish it, because those mtv followers are not deserving or worthy of such an amazing (in my opinion) phenomenon called coheed and cambria. this music is like a special treasure, that you dont just show to everyone, but to a few select friends that you know will understand and appreciate it for what it really is. so people that are afraid of co&ca's success, i do not doom you to a fiery eternity in hell. (teehee) on the other hand, i dont think that we should disdain people (like me) who heard co&ca off the radio, bought the cd(s) and are now fans. i dont think it matters how long you've been a fan of a band, but whether or not you are a loyal fan, and will support them in the way you can, whether by spreading the word, buying merchandise, or buying tickets to their concerts. it is difficult to hear new, different, or unmainstream music when you are a strong disbeliever of downloading cd's (though i think it's okay to download a couple of songs to test the quality of a band, if you like some of the music you downloaded, go out and support them by buying the cd, please!). so lighten your harsh words on people who find fantastic wierd or un-mainstream or indie bands through the radio. wow, this ended up longer than i expected. sorry for getting off the subject on the meaning of this song and lecturing you people on fan loyalty and whatnot. i apoligize. people who use these forums to just write "co&ca rox!" annoy the fuck outta me, too. |
